During a recent WWE event in Saudi Arabia, Alexa Bliss, a former Women’s Champion, encountered a wardrobe malfunction that disrupted her performance. While teaming with Charlotte Flair against The Judgment Day, Bliss’s bodysuit caught on opponent Liv Morgan’s gear, preventing her from completing a Crucifix pin maneuver.
The intricate beadwork on Bliss’s attire became entangled, hindering her in-ring moves and allowing Morgan to recover and counterattack. This malfunction raises concerns about the suitability of the bodysuit design, which has become a standard for women wrestlers performing in Saudi Arabia.
Given the potential for similar incidents, it remains uncertain if WWE will alter the women’s gear before upcoming high-profile matches such as the Royal Rumble.
Potential Complications for Alexa Bliss in Upcoming Royal Rumble
Though Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair have maintained a friendship over the past months, recent developments suggest their partnership may be on the verge of ending. Ahead of their SmackDown match, both made it clear they would compete independently in the Royal Rumble, with no plans to cooperate.
If the two share ring time during the Royal Rumble, their relationship could dissolve further, as neither woman hesitates to eliminate the other if needed. Charlotte Flair, a former Royal Rumble winner eager to advance beyond the tag team scene, seems intent on reclaiming a path toward the Women’s Championship.
It remains to be seen whether Flair will support Bliss or if the two will clash as rivals when the Royal Rumble unfolds.
Implications for WWE’s Women’s Division and Upcoming Matches
The apparel issues experienced by Alexa Bliss highlight challenges that may impact the quality and safety of performances, especially on international stages like Saudi Arabia. As the Royal Rumble approaches, the stakes are high for Bliss and Flair, whose evolving dynamic could shift the balance within the women’s division.
WWE fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how these developments affect match outcomes and whether equipment adjustments will be implemented to avoid further disruptions. The outcome could influence storylines and potential title pursuits in the near future.
